De Vries Family from Friesland, Amsterdam and Culemborg
My familyname is De Vries, and as it says, my direct ancestors came from the Dutch province Friesland. Lieuwe Brugts de Vries moved to Amsterdam around 1795 were he assumed the name De Vries. His many descendants lived in Amsterdam and some moved to Culemborg. Of course their are many more, unrelated,
De Vries families around the world. Click here to view a list of links to genealogy sites regarding other De Vries families.
My line to Hendrik from Schoterland
My direct ancestoral line to the past is described here. It will lead to a man called Hendrik, who lived in the village Oudeschoot,Schoterland around the year 1700.
Decendants of Hendrik
Other decendants of Hendrik took different familynames. I traced some of them. From his youngest son Ekke Hendriks, came the Bijlstra, Patroon and Van der Meer families who all lived in the South-West of Friesland. The families, Idsinga, De Vries and Walda
descent from his oldest son Ids Hendriks. The name Idsinga is also written as Idzinga and Idzenga. Some of emigrated to America where they spelled their name as Edsinga. Read more about my family member
